If you could travel through time Where would you go?

[Mrs. Readsalot]

or should I say when would you go to.
Me I would go back to when my dad was still alive. He died a month before my 10th birthday, and I was so heart broken. I was the poster child for Daddy's little girl. I adored him, he was my hero. We don't have any video of him, and I would just love to hear his voice. He sang in the church choir and had a wonderful voice, I just can't remember what it sounded like. I would just like to hang out with him, throw a ball, run on the boardwalk, go fishing, hear his stories about the Navy(all things we loved to do when he was alive)I used to retell his stories to myself so I would not forget them.

If I am staying -anytime period before automobiles and phones.
For just a quick visit - I too would love that conversation with my dad. I would want him to see how much I turned out like him, and oh.....the questions I would ask!

[JennifersLost]

I think either ancient Rome or medieval Europe just to see what it was "really" like. I feel that everyone puts their own interpretation on it, you know? I'd like to see for myself (but probably not stay!)

[Virginia Dawn]

I really like living today, I wouldn't want to live at any other time, but I wouldn't mind a short just about anytime period, especially around the turn of the last century (1900).

If I was to go to see a specific person it would be my grandmother in the 1940's and 50's. I think she could have used a good friend. I loved her dearly.

I would go back to October 1970, the month my dh's father was killed in a race car accident. I would tell him not to get in the car. Knowing that it would probably mean dh and I wouldn't meet, I still would do it. Dh was 9 and had 4 other siblings. He needed his dad so much and I've seen the pain he has suffered because he wasn't there. It still makes me cry.

Didn't mean to make this a downer, but I've thought about this before. There are many time periods I'd like to visit, but that is the only one I'd change.

[Jenny in Atl]

As long as I could leave my strong sense of smell behind; I would love to go through-out history.

[JFS in IL]

I would LOVE to go to the Hollywood area about 1915 and wiggle my way onto the Griffith lot and get into the early silent film business! AND buy a bunch of property in Santa Monica and keep it! I have wanted to be part of the early film business since I was 11 years old.

Victorian and Edwardian England but I do not want to stay forever. How about a month long visit or so - with the option of extending. :001_smile:
After England, I would then check out Colonial Times in this country and perhaps Canada. How about one month passes?
That would suit me just fine.

[j.griff]

I'd love to see the past, but I'd also like to go 100 years into the future- to see if we "make it" or if the world ends, LOL- and to see what conditions people are living in so that I could come back and prepare my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren for such a future. :D

[Book Crazy]

I would go back and visit "Shakespeare". I have always wondered if it really was the guy from Stratford or someone else.

Karen,

My answer is similar to yours. I'd go back to about 1983 and talk with my dad. (He died in 1985, but the events that led to his death started in 1983.) Then, I'd take him with me back to 1870s Kansas to meet his great grandfather and learn about our family history. And, since this is fantasy and I can do anything I want in a fantasy... I'd bring him back to the present with me to meet my husband and my kids after telling him to invest in MicroSoft, WalMart and Xerox stock. <g>

<sniff> The idea of being able to go back in time makes me miss my dad so much!

If time travel that changes the past causes a time paradox (does anyone remember the Kris Kristofferson/Cheryl Ladd movie about this? ;-), I'd just go back in time to meet ancestors and learn about them.

I would go to Egypt; I really want to see them erect the pyramids and I have to be in the warmth. If I were restricted to my life-time, I would go to when I was 17; I really liked who I was then and thought I could do anything.

[tmkclscroggins]

I would love to get a peek at Medieval England. Maybe be a damsel in distress for a day or two and have a handsome knight rescue me!

I would also love to see what Ancient Greece looks like.

I would like to go back to Jesus' time and listen to him.

I don't think I'd like to stay in either time period long.

[Tammy]

I am curious as to when that was!

[RebeccaC]

I would like to see the tabernacle of David and what worship was like there. Maybe catch a worship set with Asaph. Other than that I would like to maybe hear Lincoln or Wilberforce deliver a speech.

[Donna T.]

I'd like to go to Jerusaleum when Jesus was crucified/resurrected. To worship Him and experience the earthquake and the tombs giving up their dead.

Matthew 27:51-53
"... and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

I can't think of any more powerful historical event.

[cin]

I would like to go back to 1964-65 and see my birth parents, like a fly on the wall though. I woudln't really want to MEET them, just see them, know what they were like.

[Remudamom]

I think just back to un-say things I shouldn't have said.
